2 PREFACE of this standard is a major revision of the previous Issue 2. It has been re-developed to: 1. Include clearances and spacings for 400 kv a.c. switchyards. 2. Improve safety by requiring minimum maintenance access clearances to enable the use of mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) in order to reduce fall hazards. 3. Improve safety by requiring work plane heights to be aligned with the New Zealand Department of Labour Code of Practice for Manual Handling (the design principles for manual handling are identical to those considered for determining work platform heights). 4. Improve safety by up-dating minimum height to live metal clearances to improve access to circuit breaker mechanism boxes, and to prohibit designs based on the use of steps for this purpose as per Service Advisory TP.DS SA1 (now superseded by this document). 5. Improve safety by re-instating a minimum height requirement to the lowest insulating shed on insulating support columns. 6. Improve safety by requiring existing installations that do not comply with minimum clearances as determined by national and international standards to be remedied by restricting access and use of warning signs. 7. Improve circuit availability by requiring that routine maintenance and equipment change-outs can be carried without necessitating the shutdown of nearby energised circuits. 8. Include design criteria for extending and modifying existing a.c. switchyard structures. 9. Alignment with Australian practices except when this would involve conflict with IEC standards. The range of terms used has been significantly increased and these are defined in Appendix A Definitions. Because of the extensive nature of the changes in this third issue of TP.DS the Revision History log has been reset to restart again as at the date of issue.

7 5 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 5.1 Design drawings Design drawings for all new a.c. switchyards, and extensions, or modifications to existing a.c. switchyards shall be prepared by the designer and submitted to Transpower for approval. These drawings shall include critical dimensions and show: 1. The proposed equipment maintenance groups. 2. The proposed equipment maintenance zones. 3. The type of temporary access equipment that can be used for routine maintenance and the replacement of equipment. 4. Clearances and minimum spacings. 5. Access ways for routine maintenance/ equipment change-outs. Refer to the drawing series TP58394 for examples of points 1 to 5 above. 5.2 Continuity in service Routine maintenance All a.c. switchyards shall be designed so that routine maintenance can be safely carried out without the need to remove from service, nearby energized equipment in other circuits. Note that during replacement, upgrade or extension projects existing equipment within the associated maintenance group that does not meet this requirement shall, where practicable, be relocated to a position that does meet this requirement Equipment replacement Network security requirements Circuits shall be designed so that equipment can be safely replaced without the need to remove from service nearby energized equipment in other circuits Zero contingency circuits Where there is no back-up for circuits connected to a busbar (i.e. there is only n security), a new circuit connected to that busbar shall be designed so that circuit breakers can be safely replaced without the need to remove from service, either the busbar or nearby circuits Bus coupler installations Bus coupler installations shall be designed so that equipment can be safely replaced without the need to remove from service, nearby energized equipment in other circuits, including sections of bus. Example: To be able to replace the bus coupler circuit breaker and CTs with both adjacent busbars live. 5.3 Design co-ordination Switchyard layout and patterning Replicable layouts that can be readily related to the single line diagram shall be used. The equipment layouts and conductor dispositions in circuit bays of the same type (line, transformers, capacitor banks etc.) shall consistently conform to an established pattern Electric and magnetic fields Close proximity to high voltage conductors can result in unacceptable exposure to electric and magnetic fields Transpower New Zealand Limited 7

8 5.4 Tables Internal fences around air-cooled reactors and other areas of high magnetic fields shall protect personnel outside the fence from magnetic fields in excess of the ICNIRP guideline for occupational exposure. TP.DG Electric and magnetic field design parameters for a.c. 50 Hz transmission lines, substations and underground, cables provides more specific requirements with regard to the consideration of the limitation of EMF exposures during design.

Transpower has selected a nominal system voltage of 400 kv. As the nominal system voltage is defined as a suitable approximate value 400 kv is used in Table 2 as opposed to 380 kv.

All clearances are surface to surface taut string distances, whereas conductor spacings are centre line to centre line measurements. 2. Refer to Figure 3 for installation example designed to achieve walking access clearance W. 3. The maintenance clearances H and V are based on the use of MEWPs as illustrated in Figure Because outdoor 33 kv and lower voltage level air insulated a.c. switchyards are no longer economic due to the comparatively low cost of indoor switchgear installations these are not included in the above table. 5. Because the trend is to phase out 50 kv lines and a.c. switchyards these are not included in the above table. Therefore for 50 kv installations design to 66 kv clearances Transpower New Zealand Limited 9

11 6 BASIC ELECTRICAL CLEARANCES 6.1 Requirements The requirements of this section apply to both new and existing a.c. switchyards. Insulation coordination of electrical equipment is required to provide a level of protection for personnel and equipment by reducing flashovers caused by system over-voltages and lightning strikes. Basic electrical clearances are required in order to achieve this purpose. 6.2 Basic electrical clearances Tables 1 and 2 list Transpower nominal system voltages, highest equipment voltages, lightning impulse withstand voltage (LIWV) and corresponding minimum phase to earth clearances (N) and phase to phase clearances. These clearances are used for a.c. switchyard structures, conductors, and insulators etc. that, for practical reasons, have not been tested for compliance with the LIWV type tests, either individually or as a total built unit. The clearances are based on conservative criteria and are to be used for any outdoor equipment that has not passed the appropriate LIWV type test. Circumstances when increased clearances are, or may be required, are detailed in subsection Increased minimum clearances under special conditions Circumstances when the minimum clearances given in Tables 1 and 2 shall be or may require to be increased are as follows: (a) (b) Minimum clearances between conductors of an installation that may be subject to phase opposition shall be 20 % higher than the standard minimum values. Minimum clearances between conductors of an installation, which are assigned to different insulation levels, shall be 25 % higher than the standard minimum values established for the higher insulation level present. (c) Where conductors can move under the influence of short circuit forces, at least 50 % of the standard minimum clearances shall be maintained as a minimum. (d) Where conductors can move under the influence of wind, at least 75 % of the standard minimum clearances shall be maintained as a minimum. 6.4 Reduced minimum clearances under special conditions In cases where there is insufficient space available to achieve the minimum clearances then, subject to approval by Transpower, reduced clearances may be used provided that suitable measures are put in place such as barriers or obstacles to ensure the protection of personnel, and provided the achieved probability of flashover is controlled to a level acceptable to Transpower Transpower New Zealand Limited 11

12 7 CLEARANCES FOR SAFE ACCESS AND CONDUCTOR SPACINGS This section sets out the minimum clearances required for safe access to a.c. switchyards, and also includes the minimum conductor spacing requirements for new a.c. switchyards. 7.1 Fundamental design requirement for safety Designs must ensure that competent personnel can carry out operating and maintenance procedures without inadvertently encroaching within the danger zone. The danger zone is defined by the minimum phase to earth clearance (N) to live conductors. Figure 1: Danger zone concept Transpower New Zealand Limited 12

13 7.2 Walking access clearances New a.c. switchyards shall be designed to have minimum safe clearances from all surfaces that are accessible to competent employees walking throughout the substation. Figure 2: Minimum design dimensions for safe access Transpower New Zealand Limited 13

14 The minimum walking access clearance to live parts from accessible ground, or accessible platforms shall be W, where W = N + R V and R V = 2440 mm. 7.3 Minimum conductor heights (a) The minimum conductor height shall not be less than the greater of the minimum height of live conductors above fixed accessible surfaces given in Table 3 or the walking access clearance W, where W= N The clearance W is referenced to the maximum conductor sag. (b) The lowest part of any insulation, for example the upper edge of metallic insulator bases, shall not be less than 2440 mm above the accessible surface. Figure 3: Minimum design dimensions for walking access Note, as in the case of capacitor voltage transformers, attention to detail is required since the lowest live conductor is not always located at the equipment terminals Transpower New Zealand Limited 14

15 7.4 Access for maintenance work New a.c. switchyard designs shall be based on the provision of safe and efficient maintenance access from temporary elevated surfaces for all work that cannot be done from ground level. It shall be possible to locate temporary work platforms so that routine maintenance can be carried out without the need for outages of equipment in other equipment maintenance groups. Standard designs shall not be based on the use of scaffolding/ climbing /ladders for routine maintenance access. The exceptions to this are: 1. Ladders for inspection purposes. 2. Scaffolding which may be necessary due to the unique nature of the work, such as retermination of high voltage power cables. The preferred means of access for maintenance work is a MEWP. Junction boxes shall not be located such that they impede the positioning of temporary work platforms. For example, equipment should not be located in the area in front of a circuit breaker, or the area along the side adjacent to the access route for maintenance plant. It shall be possible to maintain equipment such as boundary fences, spare transformer units etc. without requiring shutdown of any primary electrical equipment Equipment maintenance access groups Equipment maintenance groups are formed by splitting the equipment into logical groups, any of which can be removed from service as a group for routine maintenance and inspection. A typical example of this is indicated in Figure Transpower New Zealand Limited 15

16 Figure 4: SLD primary equipment maintenance groups Equipment maintenance zones Maintenance zones are based upon the maintenance access width, the volume occupied by the equipment, and the work plane heights. Refer to Figures 5, 6 and 7 below Transpower New Zealand Limited 16

17 Figure 5: CB/CT maintenance access envelope and zone plan view The required height of the temporary work platform is determined by the highest work plane height. Generally, the highest work plane shall be at the same height as the highest equipment point, and for ergonomic reasons, is taken as being located 1000 mm above the work platform. For circuit breakers the highest work plane shall be at the same height as the highest terminals, and taken as being located 1000 mm above the work platform for ergonomic reasons Transpower New Zealand Limited 17

18 Figure 6: Maintenance access envelope and zone vertical view A maintenance access width plus sufficient room to facilitate replacement of major components, as well as replacement of the entire unit of equipment, shall be provided around the periphery of all large equipment items such as transformers Transpower New Zealand Limited 18

19 Figure 7: Transformer maintenance access It may not always be practical to provide an access width along each side of an item of equipment in order to meet general requirements. The maintenance access series of drawings TP58394 (refer subsection 5.1 above) is being extended to show maintenance access arrangements as they become available for various types of equipment Positioning of temporary elevated work platforms Temporary elevated work platforms shall be able to be safely moved into the work position without requiring outages of equipment other than the equipment to be worked on. The component distances in Figures 8 and 9 have been selected to cater for a reasonably wide range of MEWPs as used by contractors Transpower New Zealand Limited 19

22 7.4.5 Access using ladders Where it is not possible to gain access using MEWPs, then access using ladders is permissible for inspection purposes, but ladders are not to be used as work platforms. Figure 10: Use of ladders heights and clearances Transpower New Zealand Limited 22

23 7.4.6 Work safety clearances formula For definitions of D i, (including D i V and D i H), R v, and R h, refer to the distance for inadvertent movement, vertical reach and horizontal reach respectively in the definitions section. (a) The vertical work safety clearance, V = N + D i V + R v Work plane height, where: Vertical reach (R v ) = 2440 mm Work plane height = 1000 mm (b) The horizontal work safety clearance, H = N + Ma + D i H D i values to be used: MEWP boom or stick type Scissor lift platform Ladder Vehicle, or mobile plant in transit (subsection 7.9) All other applications, unless the type of equipment justifies the use of a value of D i 1000 mm for D i V and 1900 mm for D i H 1000 mm for D i V and 1500 mm for D i H 300 mm for D i V (allows for one step) and 0 m for D i H 1000 mm for D i H, and 0 mm for D i V 0 mm Ma values to be used: MEWP boom or stick type Scissor lift platform Ladder Security fence spacing (subsection 7.10) Protective barriers and obstacles All other applications 1900 mm 1900 mm 25 % of working length of ladder (mm) 1000 mm 1000 mm 1000 mm 7.5 Busbar heights and spacings Busbar mounting heights Generally busbar mounting heights are to comply with Table 3 to allow vehicles and plant to pass underneath. The required height is to the lowest part of the busbar. For vertically spaced busbars the required height is the height to the lowest part of the lowest busbar. Mounting heights for flexible busbars and other sections of live conductor shall be designed such that under the worst combination of conditions the minimum height at any point shall not be less than that required by Table 3. Busbars mounted in a special enclosure, which prevents access to personnel while the equipment is live, may be mounted at any height sufficient to give phase to earth clearances in accordance with Table 1 and 2. In such cases protective barriers shall be installed in accordance with subsection Transpower New Zealand Limited 23

24 7.5.2 Busbar horizontal spacings The centre line to centre line spacings in Table 3 allow for the installation of the typical designs of disconnectors and earth switches in line with the busbars. The typical disconnectors are rocking and vertical break types at 33 kv and vertical break at 72.5 kv, 123 kv and 245 kv. Centre rotating disconnectors and some centre break are also accommodated at 72.5 kv, 123 kv and 245 kv. For single side break disconnectors the spacings must be increased. The spacings are also suitable for in-line installation of current transformers and circuit breakers. Vertically-spaced busbars must meet the requirements of Table 1 and 2, after making due allowance for flexibility, etc. Flexible or strung busbars require greater spacings to allow for side swing and the separation of bundled conductors. 7.6 Standard clearances and conductor spacings Table 3 summarizes the above subsections and gives the minimum vertical and horizontal work safety clearances (V and H) for new a.c. switchyards. 7.7 Alternative clearances and conductor spacings Alternatives to the above standard clearances and conductor spacings may be proposed to Transpower provided they meet the policy requirements, and meet: 1. The walking access and minimum equipment height requirements as set out in Table 3 above. 2. The maintenance clearances formulae and values as set out above. The selection of alternative options is to be based on the following hierarchy: 3. Use of boom or stick type elevating work platforms as set out above. 4. Use of other types, e.g. scissor type MEWPs. 5. Other options. Drawings of the proposed alternative shall be submitted to Transpower for approval by the Manager responsible for this standard and approval of the manager responsible for equipment maintenance Transpower New Zealand Limited 24

25 7.7.1 Scissors elevating work platforms Figure 11: Scissor lifts heights and clearances fall back option 1 Where the provisions of this Standard cannot be practicably achieved, the designer may propose an alternative solution for Transpower s consideration, or request advice from Transpower on alternative acceptable solutions. For example, in the case of scissor type Transpower New Zealand Limited 25

26 MEWPs a value of Ma less than 1900 mm may be proposed if suitable narrower mobile equipment would suit the work. 7.8 Low level equipment installations/ protective barriers (capacitors etc.) Where necessary the designs shall incorporate earthed protective barriers, and/or protective obstacles and appropriate warning signage to ensure that competent employees can walk safely as intended and gain access where necessary throughout the substation. Figure 12: Protection against direct contact Protective barriers shall be of substantial construction and shall be suitable for the environment in which they are located. They shall limit the approach of personnel carrying out routine inspections, operations or maintenance to a safe distance from the live parts Transpower New Zealand Limited 26

27 Either solid or mesh barriers shall be used as per Figure 12. Barriers with openings exceeding 50 mm shall not be used. For non-rigid protective barriers and wire meshes, the clearance values shall be increased to take into account movement or deflection of the protective barrier or mesh and meet the worst case seismic and wind design loads. 7.9 Access for maintenance vehicles and plant Clearances The access envelopes designed for maintenance vehicles and plant shall include provision for inadvertent movement, provision for door opening, and shall have a clearance from overhead conductors and other live parts, equal to, or greater than the reduced minimum approach distance given in NZECP 34 Table 6 plus 100 mm. (Refer to Figures below) Under station busbars Mounting heights for flexible busbars and other sections of live conductor under which vehicles may pass shall be designed such that under the worst combination of conditions the minimum height at any point shall not be less than that given in Table 3. This is for the passage of maintenance equipment underneath busbars on the basis that such equipment movements are carried out in accordance with SM-EI Rule Busbars mounted in a special enclosure, to which access by personnel is prevented while the equipment is live, may be mounted at any height sufficient to give phase to earth clearances in accordance with Tables 1 and Primary equipment excluding transformers To ensure equipment maintenance and replacement of typical bay equipment such as CBs, CTs etc. can be undertaken safely and efficiently, access routes shall be provided that meet the following criteria: 1. As a minimum straight through access shall be available between every second diameter from one side of the structure to the other. 2. The access route and area provided shall be suitable for the following MEWPs and crane: (a) Genie Z-45/ 25J RT (b) Genie S-45 (c) Franna AT-20 (20 tonne crane, required clearance height 3100 mm). The minimum turning radii shall be based on the largest specified turning radii of these types plus 1000 mm. 3. In combination with the maintenance zones and available area enable equipment change-outs to be carried out safely and efficiently. 4. Meet the minimum access route profile requirements as indicated in the figures below. Note, the above crane and MEWPs have been selected solely for the purpose of ensuring that design access envelopes cater for a reasonable range of mobile plant that the maintenance contractors may need to use for typical bay equipment Transformer or heavy item access Formed heavy transport routes shall be provided for the installation and removal of transformers or other heavy items. Access routes for transformer transporters and cranes intended for lifting transformers shall meet the requirements of Figures 13 to 16 except that the vehicle envelope shall have a minimum width of 3000 mm and a minimum height of 4500 mm. Actual transformer Transpower New Zealand Limited 27

28 dimensions, and lifting arrangements etc. should be specified during the design phase, and appropriate increases in height/ width made to the vehicle envelope as necessary. Corners for the transport route shall have an outside radius of not less than 10,000 mm. An appropriate increase in turning radius shall be used where it is foreseen that required turning radius could exceed 10,000 mm. The transport route shall provide for a minimum loaded vehicle clearance to live conductors of RMAD mm. Equipment shall be located so that no outages are required during movement of the transporter with or without the transformer loaded. If the required space for access is not possible because of site restrictions, warning signs shall be attached to structures at a height of approximately 2,400 mm to their underside and stop lines shall be painted across the access route Equipment mounted on high structures Safe access for MEWPs having sufficient reach shall be provided for work on equipment items such as light fittings, lightning spires etc. without the need to remove primary equipment from service. For example in some cases a high reaching type MEWP such as a Genie S-65 may be required Calibration vehicle and trailer access At sites where revenue metering is carried out at voltages above 33 kv, access shall be provided for the calibration vehicle and trailer to be safely parked within 4,000 mm of the instrument transformers that require calibration Transpower New Zealand Limited 28

32 7.9.7 Vehicle & plant access around structure perimeters Wherever practicable, a vehicle access route shall be provided all the way around the inside of the substation security fence of minimum dimension as per Figure 16 below. Figure 16: Vehicle access around inside of security fence Corners of access routes around structure perimeters shall, where practical, have an outside radius of not less than 10,000 mm Transpower New Zealand Limited 32

33 7.9.8 Stable access and work surface for MEWPs and crane A stable durable surface that is capable of carrying a fully loaded MEWP of any of the types listed in clause shall be provided for maintenance access/ equipment change outs: Genie Z-45/ 25J RT Genie S-45 The surface layer properties shall be such that: (a) (b) Significant damage does not occur to the surface, and that Unforeseen movement of the MEWP does not occur when the MEWP is fully loaded and turning/ slewing, or when a crane is lifting an equipment item such as a circuit breaker onto a transport truck Security fence clearances The clearances/ distance between switchyard perimeter security fences and equipment shall comply with the minimum requirements of Figure 16. Where this is not possible the minimum security fence clearances shall be based on one of the following alternatives: (a) N mm, when boundary fence is a solid wall; (b) N mm, when boundary fence is mesh/ with openings construction. For alternatives (a) and (b) the fence must be of a low maintenance type to minimise equipment outages for maintenance work. For maintenance purposes the top of the security fence is to be treated as a work plane, and the overhead live conductor limit designed to be no less than V (refer to Figure 16). Vertically above and beyond the outside of the security fence the provisions of NZECP 34 apply with regard to vertical height of the conductor above the ground and the top of the fence Safe access to operational equipment Equipment mechanism boxes Safe access from an accessible surface (normally at ground level) shall be provided for operational or in-service inspection purposes of equipment mechanisms, counters, gauges, mechanism boxes etc Transpower New Zealand Limited 33

36 8 EXISTING A.C. SWITCHYARDS 8.1 Policy requirements Existing a.c. switchyards shall meet the policy compliance requirements set out in Section 3, in order to ensure a consistency of approach to safety. 8.2 Requirements for ground clearances and busbar heights The minimum heights of live metal/conductors above ground for walking access and for vehicle access under busbars, as scheduled in Tables 4 and 5 in subsection 5.4, apply to existing structures. The clearances and heights in Table 4 apply to structures designed after 20 th April 2005 to July 2008, while those in Table 5 apply to structures designed before 20 th April Tables 4 and 5 give the height above normally accessible ground for access within a fenced structure area, in which live metal other than busbars, i.e. not exceeding 1 m in any horizontal dimension, may be mounted. This permits some flexibility to cater for different arrangements of the connections between equipment terminals and overhead busbars, but the transition to the busbar height should be made as close as reasonably possible to the equipment terminals. Ideally vertical droppers onto the equipment terminals would be used, but in practice this may not be possible in a significant number of cases. 8.3 Non-compliant existing structures Where existing structures do not comply with the above requirements appropriate permanent signage and protective obstacles (fences and bollards) shall be put in place to achieve compliance/ control the hazards to safe levels, until such time as replacement can be justified Transpower New Zealand Limited 36

37 8.3.1 Protective obstacle clearances (for mitigation of substandard clearances) Figure 19: Protection against direct contact Within outdoor installations a minimum protective obstacle clearance of N mm (minimum 600 mm) shall be maintained from live parts to the internal surface of any protective obstacle (see Figure 19 above). Protective obstacles shall be located so that the minimum clearance from where an operator may stand on the accessible side of the obstacle to the live part. This is determined by a taut string distance of W. Protective obstacles shall be a minimum height of 1200 mm and a maximum height of 1400 o mm to be effective. Appropriate warning signage shall be provided Transpower New Zealand Limited 37

38 8.4 Modifications or extensions Modifications/extensions to existing electrical structures must meet the requirements, spacings and distances in place at the time they were originally installed, and also meet the following requirements: 1. Minimum phase phase and phase earth clearances as per Table 1 of this standard (the clearance values in brackets at the lower voltage levels may be applied for this purpose). Note: Table 1 clearances are generally lower than those in the predecessor documents. There have been a number of significant reductions in clearances since Electrical Design Standard DC 3.1.2, 1974 was issued. 2. The minimum heights of live metal above ground level specified in Electrical Design Standard DC 3.1.2, 1974 are satisfied. Note: Minimum heights of live metal above ground level were revised by Transpower to accept the values specified in Electrical Design Standard DC 3.1.2, 1974 for existing older structures. Service Advisory TP.DS SA1 which was issued on 20 th April 2005 for this purpose, is now superseded by this Issue of TP.DS 62.01, and which includes DC as an appendix. 3. Maintenance access spacings as per original design shall not be reduced. Note: It is particularly important that when bulk oil circuit breakers are being replaced, care is taken to ensure that there are sufficient clearances for inspection and testing of the replacement circuit breaker. This is because modern SF 6 live tank circuit breakers typically have a greater height profile than designed for when bulk oil circuit breakers were installed in older structures. The clearances to the terminals of the SF 6 live tank circuit breakers must be sufficient to allow for connection of test equipment with adjacent equipment in service. 4. The original layout and patterning of equipment shall not be varied if the variation means that safety is compromised. Note: Replacing existing equipment with equipment that requires more space in structures that have minimal clearance is not permitted where the minimal clearances are significantly reduced. Minimal clearances typically occur in older structures where the voltage is < 50 kv. As a guide, if the clearance between ground and any part of the equipment and live metal is less than N then the clearance is considered to be minimal. For example it is considered unsafe practice to replace a 33 kv circuit breaker with a larger 66 kv circuit breaker if this results in the distance between the nearest live metal at the point of isolation and where earths are to be applied is reduced. 5. Wherever reasonably practical compliance with the latest standard shall be achieved during modification or extension Transpower New Zealand Limited 38

39 9 IMPULSE TESTED EQUIPMENT The minimum basic electrical clearances in this standard are for untested equipment and may differ from clearances offered on purchased equipment. There are fundamental differences between the requirements for buswork and connections, and the requirements for the individually specified, works tested, equipment to which the busbars and connections are attached. However, to achieve consistency of applied clearances and conductor spacings throughout outdoor switchyard structures the minimum phase to earth, and phase to phase clearances given in Tables 1 and 2 shall apply to all new equipment items. 9.1 Transformers The minimum phase to phase and phase to earth clearance and terminal spacings for transformers shall comply with IEC except that the minimum phase to phase and phase to earth clearance and spacings for 33 kv and below shall be 500 mm respectively. Spacings shall include an additional allowance of 150 mm for the space taken up by the terminal connection. The minimum distance from a transformer to another transformer, building or other equipment shall comply with IEC (see also IEEE 979 Guide for substation fire protection). This only applies to new transformer bays. If an existing transformer bay is being upgraded then the opportunity should be taken to include a fire resistant wall if this is practicable Transpower New Zealand Limited 39

40 APPENDIX A TP.DS A DEFINITIONS Terms in this standard are used as defined in TP.AG Transpower Glossary. Other definitions are: clearance: The distance between two conductive parts or between a live part and earth along a string stretched the shortest way between these conductive parts (the taut string distance). (See also definition of taut string distance). competent: An employee is competent when they can demonstrate to Transpower, at any time, that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to carry out work within a switchyard safely, to the standards used by Transpower. danger zone: The zone defined by the minimum phase to earth clearance (N) around exposed live parts. Note: Exposed includes insulated but not to full working voltage. distance for inadvertent movement (D i ): The distance, vertical (D i V) and/or horizontal (D i H), which is allowed for the inadvertent movement of both personnel and machines. earthed: Effectively connected to the general mass of earth. enclosure: The part providing protection of equipment against certain external influences and protection against direct contact from any direction. highest equipment voltage: The highest r.m.s value of phase to phase voltage for which the equipment is designed in respect of its insulation as well as other characteristics that relate to this voltage in the relevant equipment standards. horizontal reach (R h ): The horizontal reach of a person allowed for the purposes of working from a fixed work platform shall be 1440 mm. horizontal work safety clearance (H): The minimum distance measured horizontally between live parts and the equipment to be worked on. This distance includes an allowance of 300 mm for use of hand held tools. LIWV: Lightning Impulse Withstand Voltage. live: Connected to a source of electrical supply or subject to hazardous induced or capacitive voltage. maintenance access width (M a ): The access width provided for maintenance access, and within which ladders and mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) from which maintenance is carried out are located. maintenance clearance: A collective term for horizontal work safety clearance (H), vertical work safety clearance (V), and walking access clearance (W). maintenance zone: A zone comprising the equipment to be worked on, the surrounding maintenance access width, and the associated space required for maintenance work, and within which work from pre-planned work platform locations may be carried out. minimum height: The smallest permissible vertical clearance between accessible surfaces and live parts without protection against direct contact, or those parts that may be subject to a hazardous voltage. minimum phase to earth clearance (N): The smallest permissible clearance in air between live parts and earth or between live parts and parts at earth potential (values of N as per IEC are used in this design standard). minimum phase to phase clearance: smallest permissible clearance in air between live parts of different phases or between the same phase that are electrically separate from another Transpower New Zealand Limited 40

41 APPENDIX A TP.DS network security: A term used to describe the ability or capacity of a network to provide service after one or more equipment failures. It can be defined by deterministic planning criteria such as (n), (n-1), (n-2) security contingency. A security contingency of (n-m) at a particular location in the network means that m component failures can be tolerated without loss of service. nominal value: The value of a quantity used to designate and identify a component, device, equipment or system. nominal system voltage: A suitable approximate value of voltage used to designate or identify a system Note: Any reference to nominal voltage means nominal system voltage. protection against direct contact: Measures that prevent the body of a person or an object (reaching into the danger zone) persons coming into hazardous proximity to live parts or those parts that could carry a hazardous voltage. protective barrier: The part providing protection against direct contact from any usual direction of access. protective obstacle: The part preventing unintentional access to an area where safety clearances will be infringed, but not preventing access to this area by deliberate action. security fence clearance: The smallest permissible clearance, measured horizontally, between an external fence and live conductors. SIWV: Switching Impulse Withstand Voltage. spacings: The distances measured between centre lines of conductors or equipment. standard person: Figure 2 shows the height and reach of the standard person. This is based on AS switchyard: An area, enclosed by a security fence, containing normally live conductors and/or other exposed live material. taut string distance: The distance between two parts measured along a taut string stretched the shortest way between those parts. vertical reach (R v ): The maximum vertical reach of a person (2440 mm) measured from the accessible surface or temporary work platform floor. The accessible surface is either ground level, or a fixed walkway. (This is based on AS 2067, and includes an allowance of 300 mm for use of a hand held tool) vertical work safety clearance (V): The minimum distance measured vertically between live parts and the work plane. This distance includes an allowance of 300 mm for use of a hand held tool. voltage range I: Voltage in the range 1 kv < U m up to and including 245 kv. voltage range II: Voltage in the range U m > 245 kv. walking access clearance (W): The minimum safe clearance distance, measured as a taut string distance to be observed between normally exposed live parts and any accessible surface which a person may walk on (normally ground level) in an outdoor installation of open design. Work plane: The work plane is taken to be at waist height (1000 mm) above the accessible surface or temporary work platform mm is a nominal value that may be varied, but should not be increased without careful consideration of the nature and duration of the work to be undertaken Transpower New Zealand Limited 41
